I find that one of the biggest challenges we have is that farmers do not have enough champions to promote the innovative practices, so we're lacking in a lot of extension. Great research is being done at the university level and being done in other parts of the world, but how do we transfer that knowledge from the universities onto the farms? Once we get that information to the farmers, we will have champion farmers who then can deliver that to the rest of the farming community.
